Bottom line:In my test, although performed on an ancient CPU, Xiph's 64 bit build was the fastest encoder. And additionally saved some bytes . 32 bit binary is significantly slower. I've added tests of different other flac 1.3.1 binaries (collected in this thread). N.B. AiZ's binary was the fastest on my Core2 CPU...

@sundance :Don't have a clue either. The Xiph binaries haven't been updated since the official release of v1.3.2. Don't know with what the Xiph's binaries have been compiled through.

Working on making a new set of FLAC binaries since there been a couple of updates on the source. Im using the 'media-autobuild_suite' for my compilation needs, Im a noob when it comes to setting up a compilation environment, so i use something finished instead.

There won't be any more 1.3.2 versions, all you're seeing is people making their own compiles of 1.3.2 for a variety of reasons.

There has been talk of a quick release of 1.3.3 to fix a few small bugs but that, if that even happens, will not be anything worth holding out for. It wouldn't amount to any notable differences to end users, only for some developers.

There is a hidden message in the song at approximately 4:32. If played at half speed, Waters can be heard to say, "That was pretty avant-garde, wasn't it?"
